Default pro stars 15x3.5

Will these wheels be okay for everyday driving, like will it be hard to stop and stuff? Thanks.

Heh..you again....J/J, man. I hear that running skinnies up front does slightly impair your braking ability. I think it might affect handling adversley as well. I don't think you're supposed to go over 100mph in them. (manufacturer's saftey suggestion?)

i drive with my front skinnys like theyre not even on there....rain or shine. i actually like em better than the stock wheels/tires. car rides a lot smoother. it does cut down on steering response though.

I put alot of miles on mine too. No issues at all. The only real differance I noticed is that if you jam the brakes at around 140mph or so it does trip the ABS alot easier with the skinnies on the front.

Also the handling isn't really that bad. One night I came up on the turn off road way to fast and took it at like 30 mph. The car did really well. I expected the nose to push twards the ditch but it did the opposite and kicked the rear out. I wouldn't rip around corners purposly with them but if you have to make an evasive manuver you can.
